🚨 INFLATION JUST GAVE THE FED MORE ROOM — BUT THE REAL TEST IS NEXT The U.S. inflation picture has delivered another signal that markets are watching closely. July CPI came in at 3.4% YoY, while core CPI held at 2.5%. Then Thursday's PPI added another surprise: producer prices were FLAT in July versus expectations for a 0.2% rise. PPI is now up 4.7% YoY, while core PPI increased 0.2% month-on-month. Together with the recent weak jobs data, the latest numbers are reducing pressure for an immediate Fed hike. Markets have cut the probability of a September hike to roughly 35–40%, down sharply from around 55% a week earlier. But this isn't a green light for unlimited risk-taking. Some underlying service-price pressures remain, and the Fed still needs confirmation that inflation is moving sustainably toward its 2% objective. That makes the next catalysts critical: 📌 Retail sales 📌 Jobs data 📌 Core PCE 📌 Treasury yields 📌 Jackson Hole The setup is becoming clearer: 🔥 Softer inflation 📉 Lower hike expectations 💵 Potentially easier financial conditions 💧 Greater room for risk appetite The biggest question now isn't whether CPI was bullish. It's whether the CPI + PPI + labor-market combination is strong enough to permanently change Fed expectations. If it is, liquidity could become the market's next major catalyst. #CPIPPIEaseFedSplit #AIInfraEarningsWatch #SP500Nears8000
